Game chat recap: TCU 30, Oregon State 21

No. 24 Oregon State had its chance. The Beavers had the ball with about 4 minutes to play, down seven points to No. 6 TCU.

But then a bad snap led to a safety, and just like that, the comeback bid was derailed and the Rodgers brothers' return to Texas was spoiled. The Horned Frogs held on to beat Oregon State 30-21 on Saturday night at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Beavers quarterback Ryan Katz showed flashes in his first start, including an early 30-yard touchdown pass to James Rodgers. Katz finished 9 of 25 for 157 yards and two scores.

But TCU veteran Andy Dalton put on the better show. Dalton went 17 of 27 for 176 yards and a score, and he also added two rushing touchdowns on his way to winning his school-record 30th game.

Dalton kept the Beavers defense on its heels most of the game. The Horned Frogs defense, meanwhile, mostly shut down the Beavers' running game.

Oregon State kept the game close thanks to two Dalton interceptions, but the Beavers' own late turnover ultimately sank them.

Jacquizz Rodgers was mostly held in check, though he did break a couple of runs in the second half and scored a third-quarter touchdown that tied the game at 21-21.
